Shore of Loch Fyne near to Creag nam Faoileann

The loch shore is towards the south-western end of the ribbon of development alongside the A886 at Strachur, the image itself having been recorded from beside a cross named on OS maps at the 1:50 000 & 1:25 000 scales simply as a monument, but at larger scales as a war memorial. The cross is indeed a memorial to two soldiers who died in battle, a captain and a private; they died in separate years in South African wars but it's not a war memorial in the usually understood sense which would be to the dead of both or one of the two World Wars.
